Rundll and Explorer Error and popups

Hi there. I seem to have a trojan on my system. Every time I start up I get a rundll error. If I close the error window I get an explorer error. At the same time every time I run Spybot it comes up with the same problems which it apparently fixes only for them to re-appear when I next start up. I have Norton AV but it seems to find nothing. I have also run CWShredder but it reports no problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Log file follows:

1 - Close all open Explorer windows and browsers2 - Run HijackThis, the new version3 - Click on the Scan button and when complete4 - Put a check beside all of the items listed below5 - Click on the "Fix Checked" button6 - When complete and all files removed, close the application

QUOTENote: When doing the installation do not "tick" TeaTimer yet. We'll turn that on after we're done. You'll see what I mean during the installation process. It's a small resident program part of Spybot and works as a prevention for registry changes and some other things. But if it's running while we're doing fixes it'll pop up warnings about what we want to do during any manual fixes.

2. Go to Start > Programs >Spybot - Search & Destroy and choose 'Spybot S&D - easy mode'3. Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D4. Click the button to 'Search for Updates' and download and install the Updates.5. Next click the button 'Check for Problems'6. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing 'RED' entries 'BLACK' entries and 'GREEN' entries in the window7. Put a check mark beside the RED entries ONLY. 8. Choose 'Fix Selected Problems' and allow Spybot to fix the RED entries.9. REBOOT

Thanks Nasdaq. Have done as you have advised ( and also run Ad Aware!). On Final reboot I did not experience the Rundll, Explorer errors. Have added logfile below. Please let me know if I should do anything further. Thanks again for the help!

Internet Explorer SP1. and all updates to February 2004 are included in this free CD from Micorsoft. If you have a slow connection or are not pressed for time you can order it and install later. You must use the update site for any updates issued after that date.How to obtain and use the Windows Security Update free CD (February 2004)http://support.micro...om/?kbid=833242*Here are some suggestions to reduce the potential for spyware infection in the future. I strongly recommend installing the following :

SpywareBlaster - It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed.

IE-Spyad - IE-Spyad places over 4000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.

The problems here look to be resolved so I will close the thread. If you need this topic reopened, please request this by sending the moderating team an email with the address of the thread. This applies only to the original topic starter. Everyone else please begin a New Topic.
